Fucking comedy gold. You have to listen to the conversation between the cop and the “perp”.

Holy sheyeat!

I’m not an airsofter by any means but I do use airsoft to practice basic handgun grip and trigger pull. Any ways, long story short I bought a cheapo airsoft target and CO2 powered pistol a while back at Wally World.

I mounted this cheap Chinese made contraption to the wall and it was a great way to practice when I couldn’t get additional range time. Well long story short I managed to break my airsoft target, something I figured was impossible.

I tried to continue to use it but apparently the hole in the target now acts like some type of “vortex” and sucks all the pullets into it that are even remotely close to the bulls eye.

As you can see the airsoft pellet went right through it, no idea how that happened. I tried putting some duck tape on it but again it went right through it. Any ways, just a slow Sunday afternoon, maybe I should get one of those new fangled bullite system.

Range Day January 26

Well time for another range day, I actually go to the range once a week but lately (as in this last month) I haven’t gone in almost a month. As such my shooting quality has degraded a bit. Well I decided to go the range this weekend and correct that lack of training. Unfortunately the range was crowded with many people so I was stuck on the rifle range with a few other handgun shooters. Well, like an idiot I didn’t want to seem like a dope so I put the target out at approximately 30 yards. Why 30 yards, because I can’t eye ball distance worth a damn. Apparently everyone else was shooting at targets much closer, but whatever. On this particular day I was sick and I’m pretty sure I had pink eye on top of that, oh yea and I was shooting Blazer ammunition. Why was I shooting Blazer, because it’s been a tight month that’s why! We all can’t roll up to the range in a Corvette Z06 and unless 300 rounds from a Bill Wilson.

Any ways, moving right along after setting up my target and trying to figure out which one of pink eye infected eyes had better vision I engaged my targets. After firing eight shots of the world’s cheapest mass production ammo I took this photo of my target.

At 30 yards maybe my finger was riding the trigger to much, I don’t know. Honestly I didn’t really care too much because it was becoming more and more evident I was actually very sick and shouldn’t be outside, but hell, that never stopped me before from doing anything!

I loaded up another 8 rounds in my Wilson Combat magazine ($36.00 MSRP) that surprisingly caused failure to feeds on the last round, and shot again.

This wasn’t much better; again my trigger pull needs some work.

And again with another eight rounds, this time it was slightly better and I corrected my trigger pull and sight picture. Keep in mind that this was about thirty yards, with wind, I was sick, and shooting Blazer ammo.

Now that I have proven I can barely handle the .45ACP I move onto the .44MAG with a 4” barrel. Keep in mind I wasn’t shooting any pussy .44 Mag loads; these are real deal magnum loads. Why do I practice with magnum loads, because I firmly believe that you “train as you fight”? I also practice with .357 Magnums in a 2” barrel compact revolver for that very same reason. I also shoot revolvers in double action, why would you buy a double action revolver and shoot it singly action is BEYOND me. Hell, you could have just gotten a peacemaker but whatever.

Any ways, the first shot was on the money but then I was either flinching or pink eye induced sight picture just wasn’t cutting it at 30 yards.

Well needless to say I was sick as a dog and very tired. So what do I do, head off to the gym with Mrs.ShoreLeave because she didn’t want to go alone.

Also, on a side note my Springfield Armory 1911 “Loaded” – loaded with bullshit apparently – has had a few problems such as failure to feeds and failures to eject so I sent it back to Springfield (along with another firearm…a whole different story). Well the good folks at Springfield replaced the barrel with a match barrel, the bushing, and even polishing the feed ramp. The end result was that my 1911 ran without a hiccup with the exception of the last round hanging up that I suspect was due to the 8 round Wilson Combat magazine. Needless to say, from here on out all my future handgun purchases will be Sigs.

Morale of the story

1. Know how far you are shooting, don’t just shoot at shit far away because it could be 30 yards or 50 but honestly I have no idea.
2. Don’t go shooting if you have pink eye
3. Medication and handguns aren’t exactly a good mix.

Do you like flat butts on petite asian women? Cause if you do then you have problems.

The more I hear about this the more upset I get. The law enforcement community is made up of a lot of fucking cowards and liberal arts majors that “won’t to make a difference” but don’t have the balls to do so. They have no problem knocking down doors on no-knocks, but when there is hostages or a real threat, they just sit back in their cars and stand around hold their guns just like they did in the Virginia Tech shooting. I know they were waiting for SWAT to arrive, but the police had the opoportunity to save those people, and they didn’t. Here’s one time negotiating didn’t work.

I have a question, why do the police carry firearms if they just sit outside and wait for SWAT team. It pisses me off to no end. More law abiding citizens should own firearms and acquire concealed carry license. In todays politically correct left world, there is no defense to law abiding citizens. The police only have the courage to arrest and incarcerate law abiding citizens who make mistakes but are too afraid of tackling serious crime. Ask yourself, why is it that police have time to sit around all day with a laser looking for people going a few miles over the speed limit as opposed to all those “people” we avoid. You know, THOSE PEOPLE, that make us uneasy about shopping late, jogging at night, and worry about our more naive family members?

January 23, 2008 — Connecticut cops wasted five minutes before sending officers to an unspeakably brutal home invasion, then waited outside the house at least 26 minutes while a woman and her daughters were tortured and killed, according to newly released documents.

An edited dispatch log and transcript of the police response were obtained by The Hartford Courant.

The documents describe officers setting up for a hostage situation by trying to establish a secure perimeter and waiting for SWAT-team members to arrive – rather than trying to contact the possible suspects or attempting to rescue family members trapped inside.

Jennifer Petit, 48, and her two daughters, Hayley, 17, and Michaela, 11, were alive while officers were outside the Cheshire home and were killed in the final minutes of their seven-hour ordeal last July 23.

Two men are accused of strangling the mother, setting the home on fire and leaving the girls to die in the blaze. Dr. William Petit Jr. survived.

Joshua Komisarjevsky, 27, and Steven Hayes, 44, were arrested as they fled.

Police declined to comment to The Courant.

Cops believe the two career criminals broke into the Petit home at 3 a.m. and took the family hostage.

Shortly after 9 a.m., Jennifer Hawke-Petit went to a bank branch with Hayes to withdraw $15,000 in a last-ditch bid to save her family.

Cops first learned of the family’s ordeal from the bank managers 911 call at 9:21 a.m. Dispatchers several times put the manager on hold during the initial three-minute 911 call. The manager was then told to call back police headquarters on another line.

The calls took nearly five minutes, the paper said.

Here is an article from when this crime happened………..

Parolees charged in deadly home invasion
updated 4:36 p.m. EDT, Tue July 24, 2007

CHESHIRE, Connecticut (AP) — Two parolees with long criminal records were charged Tuesday with breaking into a doctor’s home, forcing a hostage to withdraw cash from a bank and setting fire to the house several hours later.

The doctor’s wife and two daughters were killed but no murder charges were filed Tuesday.

The suspects were caught Monday in the family’s SUV as they fled the burning home, which they apparently had torched to cover their tracks, authorities said.

Dr. William Petit Jr., 50, a prominent endocrinologist, was the only survivor and was severely injured in the attack.

Joshua Komisarjevky, 26, of Cheshire, and Steven Hayes, 44, of Winsted, were charged with assault, sexual assault, kidnapping, burglary, robbery and arson.
Bail was set at $15 million each, and state police have said that additional charges are likely.

A court bail commissioner said Hayes and Komisarjevky each have rap sheets with more than 20 prior burglaries, and both were out of prison on parole.

The two men did not enter pleas, and answered only “yes” when asked if they understood their rights. Both were represented by public defenders.

Bank employees had contacted police around 9:30 a.m Monday after one of the suspects accompanied a female hostage, who was not identified, to make a withdrawal. Police went to the home, where they found the victims and arrested the two men.

Petit’s wife, Jennifer Hawke-Petit, 48, and daughters Hayley, 17, and Michaela, 11, were dead in the home, a law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation said.
The attack rocked Cheshire, a tidy, upper-middle class community of 29,000 just east of Waterbury and about 15 miles north of New Haven.

“In Cheshire we’re not used to this type of event,” town Police Chief Michael Cruess said. “It’s a very unfortunate, tragic event that’s probably going to reach right down to the core of the community.”

Hayley Petit had received an early acceptance to Dartmouth, her father’s alma mater. She was a fundraiser for multiple sclerosis and captain of the basketball and crew teams. She was also devoted to her school, so much so that even while she was recovering from a collapsed lung, she attend commencement.

“She was such a good, good person,” said M. Burch Tracy Ford, head of school at Miss Porter’s School in Farmington. “The younger kids just worshipped the ground she walked on.”

Dr. Petit, 50, the president of the Hartford County Medical Association, is a noted specialist in diabetes and endocrinology and the medical director of the Joslin Diabetes Center Affiliate at The Hospital of Central Connecticut in New Britain.

“It is a shocking day for everyone. It’s just beyond anyone’s understanding,” said Larry Tanner, president and chief executive officer of the hospital.

Jennifer Hawke-Petit was a nurse and co-director of the health center at Cheshire Academy, a private boarding school.

“They’re just a lovely family,” said the Rev. Ronald A. Rising, a neighbor for more than a decade. “It’s just awful to think it would happen to a family like that in this community. You don’t think about those things happening.”
